What is SQE Edge?
SQE Edge has been designed to give you an insight into the SQE assessment format in the SQE1 exam, and to give you experience of how it differs from the types of assessments and exams that most undergraduates will have experienced so far in their education.
The SQE1 exam is a multiple-choice assessment comprising 360 questions and is taken over two days. SQE assesses whether a candidate can apply legal knowledge to a client's problem at the level of a newly qualified solicitor in England and Wales. This legal knowledge is referred to as functioning legal knowledge or FLK. Each day of the exam assesses different subjects.
We recommend that you try all the questions in this course so that you can get a sense of the different requirements for SQE.

Want to know more about the SQE?
The SQE stands for Solicitors Qualifying Examination and is the new method of qualification for solicitors in England and Wales. It was introduced in November 2021 by the Solicitors Regulation Authority known as the SRA, which is the regulatory body for solicitors in England and Wales. The SQE will be mandatory for all aspiring solicitors who have not commenced their undergraduate law degree by September 2021. You can learn more about the SQE here.
To qualify as a solicitor in England and Wales under the new system, a candidate must have a degree or equivalent (although there is no need for this to be a law degree), have passed SQE1 and SQE2, and also have two years of qualifying work experience.
